A Christian Brother has been jailed for sexually abusing young schoolboys in his classroom.
Brother Thomas McCarry, aged 66, had admitted a series of sample charges of indecently assaulting four boys as young as 10 at a national school in the midlands between 1984 and 1987.
McCarry, of Clareville, Finglas Rd, Glasnevin, Dublin, displayed no emotion as he was handed concurrent sentences of two years at Mullingar Circuit Court sitting in Tullamore yesterday.
The court had earlier been told that the assaults all took place during school hours while the boys were aged 10 to 11 and in fifth and sixth class.
